Alex at 48? Another bad list.

Peart should be lower, Alex higher, as well as ringo. Stave smith above Alex? Naw.

Never been a perfect list. Alex is a Top 10 Rock Drummer for me.

Best thing these lists do, is get people to talk about/remember the greatest drummers.

I like their Top 20 but I would have replaced a few of those choices with my own personal faves.

peart should be #2, alex VH #3

i think peart is better than alex but agaiin i like progressive drumming

Quite a few I’ve never heard of from bands I’ve never heard of, and of course Dave Grohl. No Fleetwood, no Kramer, no Henley, no Roger Taylor. I’m biased but I think Larry Mullen, jr. Should be on there. Maybe Anton Fig

Peart should be lower, Alex higher, as well as ringo. Steve Smith above Alex? Naw.

I like Peart, I like AVH and I like Steve as well. But where is Bobby J? Or Eloy? Or Zonder? Clive Burr? That's why I agree with Like Lil' Intruder. IMHO, this top 20 is very good and accurate, whether it includes a new generation or not.

48th place isn't that bad. All in all, it's just a list. And the comment is pretty cool:

48
Alex Van Halen
Band(s): Van Halen

Alex made me want to play rock 'n’ roll and was the first “rock star” drummer that I idolized when I was in elementary school. Hell, I dressed up as “Alex Van Halen” two years in a row for Halloween in grades 3 and 4! Alex has always been underrated and that’s always bothered me. He has a fantastic feel and is a unique drummer in the rock 'n’ roll world that should get more credit than he gets. Ask Jim Keltner… he’ll tell you! — Josh Freese (Foo Fighters, A Perfect Circle)
